Everyone has different tolerance levels for criminal activity. I always suggest that you check a few websites for information about a new neighborhood. You should check your current address on these sites and then compare what is occurring around your current home to activity in the 60634 zip code. Websites that I find useful are:
Crime Statistics: Go to CLEARMap to search specific streets and areas for crime incidents. http://gis.chicagopolice.org/

As related to questions about Crime Statistics in 60634 pertaining to real estate consumers, buyers, renters, and realtors seeking information about crime and safety. I discovered a geographic information system that maps crimes visually for users.

This should provide a rich information experience beyond dry statistics that are currently in use. Please visit the listed website for your particular city, county, or zip code.

Mary Ann,
We as agents cant answer such a question. But if your looking for informatio check out chicago crime by block. Its a good site. Also, check out the area yourself. Go there at all different times of the day and night and on the weekends. Only you can know if something is right for your family. Best of luck!

Many times a Realtor will avoid answering this type of question. It is too much of a "sticky wicket". Crime stats may disproportionally lean to a protected class. Suggestion--the Chicago police are very helpful. Call the local Area District and they will put you into contact with someone who can give you an answer.
